Interests = Information theory / coding theory / Shannon theory: Random coding and polar coding over communication channels; Distributed storage and distributed computation, application of algebra and combinatorics to.

For meta-comments of my works categorized by topics, see:

• Polar coding papers

• Distributed storage papers

• Distributed computation paper

I have once computed, on a supercomputer, the Tutte–Whitney polynomials of Reed–Muller codes of length 64. This GitHub repository keeps the source codes, comments, and results.

Publications

Multilinear Algebra for Minimum Storage Regenerating Codes: A Generalization of Product-Matrix Construction is to appear in Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computing.

Multilinear Algebra for Distributed Storage is to appear in SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry.

Log-logarithmic Time Pruned Polar Coding is in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, March 2021.

Polar Codes’ Simplicity, Random Codes’ Durability is in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, March 2021.
